Just finished brewing. Did 5 gallons of Ed's Haus Pale Ale with a slightly adjusted hop schedule because I didn't have as much cascade as I thought. All in all, a very smooth brew day. And, I've got a 3lb pork loin in the crock pot right now that I'm going to cook for another 4 hours(already been cooking for 4 hours) and then it's gettin pulled apart

Finally got my mash tun put together this weekend, so doing my first AG tomorrow, and what better recipe to break it in than Ed's HPA. Threw in a couple of extra pounds of 2-row to make up for expected low efficiency while I work out the kinks in my system. Brewing at my buddies house since my burner isn't here yet, and he's doing his house brown as well. Wish me luck!

Don't sell yourself or your system short. I did the same thing, and ended up getting great efficiency and wound up about 14 gravity points above where I should have been on my O.G..
Happy brewing and Good Luck to you.

And I am brewing a lovely chocolate Oatmeal stout with 1.5 pounds of golden naked oats and a half pound of regular oats..... I kinda had to change my Stout recipe on the fly because when I got to my LHBS they had NO coffee malt but for some strange reason they DID have golden naked oats which they never had before and I have allways wanted to try so I threw something together like this...
